I purchased the book ‘Little Yoga’ by Rebecca Whitford (after seeing it on one of my favourite blogs – An Everyday Story) for Cameron as he really likes imitating whole body movements lately.
It was an instant hit! He asked us to re-read it several times and surprised me with some of the poses he tried.
I have been finding little ‘lists’ and ‘notes’ from Cameron like this one lately. He has become very interested in letters and numbers and the written word.
Cameron adores ‘helping’ me with everyday tasks. I have created this board for him. It is at his level below his clock next to the kitchen.
It has each of our daily tasks with a drawing (poorly drawn, but hey – he guessed them all aside from the table cleaning one) laminated and magnetized so that he can see what we need to do & remove each task as the day progresses.
I am in the process of re-organising everything in our home and changing the playroom in particular to make it more Montessori-inspired. I will post photos when I’m done!
We have that book too! It’s fabulous isn’t it? Jack does his yoga everyday as part of his therapy but he enjoys it so much that I think we would do it anyway.

We have a similar daily activities board, they are such a great idea. Really looking forward to seeing the new playroom. Ours has undergone a few changes too

Ahh I knew I got the book idea from somewhere but I forgot who! I’m going to edit this post now! Hah!
I would love to see the changes you have made too!
I’m impressed with his ‘little birdie’! That ones tricky at our place. Jack’s favourite is the ‘roaring lion’, with add sound effects of course
Oh my goodness, this is just wonderful! It would be a dream come true to discover one of my children enjoys writing lists as much as me!

Thanks for sharing all your great ideas. I love your task project with the little pocket to stow them away in. I’d like to get the boys more interested in yoga too. I’ve noticed that whenever I roll out my mat they always gravitate towards it.
